Two Days of Fun at SBD Fest 2017

SAN BERNARDINO>> Flying into its third year, SBD Fest has grown into a two-day event featuring spectacular aerobatic performances headlined by the Patriots Jet Team, a car show with classic vehicles and custom motorcycles, as well as two days of live music, a kids’ zone and special surprises. Organizers expanded the festival to a full weekend event so all members of the surrounding community could experience the sights and sounds of an energetic air show, car show and concert. The first day of SBD Fest will be an evening event headlined by night-time aerobatics and an exciting concert; artist to be announced soon. Day 2 will feature all the same aerobatic performances plus high flying motocross riders, a plane pull and Lucha Libre.

“Attendee feedback has been excellent for SBD Fest. We chose to expand the event and give attendees more of what they’re asking for,” says Monette Mendoza, Air Show Coordinator and Assistant Manager of Luxivair SBD.

SBD Fest will be held at San Bernardino International Airport Saturday, October 21 through Sunday, October 22, 2017. Numerous ticket options are available, including 2-day family packs and preferred tented seating, to enjoy the entire weekend or just one day of the event. Discounted presale tickets are on sale now at SBDFest.com.

Embracing strong regional interest in the air shows at the former Norton Air Force Base, SBD Fest has had strong attendance reaching nearly 10,000 attendees each year. The festival reflects upon the former Air Force Base’s history and provides a great opportunity to see the development taking place at SBD International Airport. “Quite a number of changes have taken place since last year’s SBD Fest,” says Mark Gibbs, director of aviation at the Airport. “The San Bernardino County Sheriffs’ Aviation Unit has taken full occupancy of their hangar facility. The GA Hangar complex is now open and is nearing capacity, and World Wide Wings, a professional pilot school, is on schedule to open this fall.”

The community has a number of options for involvement in SBD Fest this year. The event offers participation in its car show, static aircraft displays, food and merchandise vending and sponsors seeking to expand their reach in the Inland Empire.

An October City announcement draws attention to an everyday household practice with benefits for food budgets, kitchen safety and the environment. A basket of fresh produce can represent a week's worth of meals, the results of a successful backyard harvest or an unexpected bargain at the grocery store. Yet without proper storage, even the freshest fruits and vegetables can spoil before a family has an opportunity to use them.

An October announcement highlights how investigative technology and cooperation among law enforcement agencies can help solve crimes affecting Grand Terrace neighborhoods. For residents of Grand Terrace, home is more than an address. It is where families gather, children grow up and neighbors build relationships over many years. When a residential burglary occurs, the effects can extend beyond the property taken or damage caused. A crime inside someone's home can undermine the sense of security that makes a neighborhood feel safe.

The rumble of a commercial truck passing through a city can represent two very different things. For a business awaiting a delivery, it may signal the arrival of essential supplies. For residents living near a busy roadway, it may raise concerns about traffic, noise and safety. In Grand Terrace, finding a reasonable balance between those interests is at the center of an ongoing transportation planning effort.
